The Himalayan Sleeping Frog sounds quite cute. Might get one as company for my narcoleptic newt. |

Revolution! Reminds me – in the 70s I had the obligatory Che Guevara poster on my bedroom wall. Never had the tennis player scratching her bum. Or scratching Che Guevara’s bum for that matter. Not sure they stocked that one in Athena. I had ABBA, Starsky and Hutch and a skeleton tied to the wheel of a cart. Lol. I had ABBA and S&H. And Hawkwind. An eclectic mix I had neither. I was only six at the end of 1979. Incidentally, the 1979 Christmas No 1 is a classic - nice and Christmassy. Well, not really, but a good rebellion song! Can you think of a good rebellion song, perchance? The 1979 Christmas No 1  I already sang it. We don't need no thought control If OSP's singling, I'm going to Run Like Hell Yeah, Run for Home! Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

So… the episode about the Andes turned out to be a bit flat. The irony. |

I don't see why should I get shouted at for calling them natives when that's what they're called in the credits.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Net curtains. Much better than gross curtains, which I’ll bet OSP’s house has got. |

Is this chap looking for his Himalayan Sleeping Frog? It does seem to be a tad derivative, at first glance. Am I allowed to call them natives this time? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

A handy tip regarding scones: never put the jam on the cream or the cream on the jam. Put them side by side on the scone. Really messes with people’s minds!!! |
